In N Out has nothing.....let me rephrase that.....NOTHING on Dick's drive in.

Found on the interweb:

The 18 Cardinal Rules of Driving in Philadelphia ...

1. A right lane construction closure is just a game to see how many people can cut in line by passing you on the right as you sit in the left lane waiting for the same jerks to squeeze their way back in before hitting construction barrels. Bonus points are awarded for getting out of your car and moving the barrels.

2. Turn signals provide clues as to your next move in the road battle, so never use them.

3. Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, no matter how fast you're going. If you do, the space will be filled in by somebody else, putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

4. The faster you drive through a red light, the less your chance of getting hit.

5. The car with the most extensive body work automatically has the right of way (remember no-fault insurance - he might not have as much to lose as you do).

6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible, to insure that your antilock braking system kicks in; this will give you a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates.

7. Construction signs are carefully positioned to tell you about road closures immediately after you pass the last opportunity to exit, but just before the traffic begins to back up.

8. The electronic traffic warning system signs are not there to provide useful information, but just to tell time and make Philly look progressive.
Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It's a good way to scare people entering the highway.

9. Speed limits are arbitrary figures to make Philly look as if it conforms with other state policies; these are intended only as suggestions and are actually unenforceable.

10. Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that a driver flashing his high beams behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.

11. Please remember that there is no such thing as a shortcut during rush-hour traffic on the Schuylkill or anywhere downtown.

12. Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even a person changing a tire. If you're lucky, you may see the unlucky breakdown victim get mugged.

13. Learn to swerve abruptly. Downtown Philly is the home of very high-speed slalom driving, thanks to PENDOT, who put potholes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them on their toes. Parts of truck tires are left on new highways (where potholes haven't yet been established) for the same purpose.

14. It is considered correct in Philly to honk your horn at cars that don't move the instant the light changes. Our city is founded upon such traditions.

15. Seeking eye contact with another driver automatically revokes your right of way.

16. When in doubt, remember that all unmarked exits lead to New Jersey.

17. It's OK to back up along the shoulder of the road if you missed your exit, particularly if it is the Schuylkill or I95. This gives the other drivers a more challenging "moving target" rather than those stationary barrels.

18. Passing on the shoulder is encouraged - that's why they're paved.

I know I live in LA because I couldn't be bothered to read that whole huge list. I'm waiting for the movie to come out.

MINNE-SO-TA when:

Weather is 80% of your conversation.
Down south to you means Iowa.
You've never met any celebrities
You call highways "freeways."
You have no concept of public transportation.
You know more than 1 person that has hit a deer.
People from other states love to hear you say words with "o"s in them.
You end your sentences with an unnecessary preposition. Example: "Where's my coat at?" or "If you go to town I wanna go with."
You hate "Fargo" but realize that a lot of your family has that accent.
You get mad at people who think Fargo is in Minnesota.
Your school classes have been canceled because of snow or cold.
You know what Mille Lacs is and how to spell it.
You assume when you say "The Cities" people know where you are referring to.
Nothing gets you madder than seeing a Green Bay sticker on a MN car.
You know what "uff-da" means and how to use it properly.
The only reason you go to Wisconsin is to get fireworks or to fish.
You wear shorts when it's 50 degrees outside in March, but bundle up and complain in August when it goes below 60.
When you talk about "opener" you are not talking about cans.
You carry jumper cables in your car.
You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day
You drink "POP," not "SODA"
There was a time when you were SO proud that Soul Asylum is from MN
In a conversation you heard someone say "yah, sure, you betcha" and you didn't laugh

For the record, I've never said "youse guys" my entire life.

I always make a mistake by ordering a double double "doggy style"..

Scrapple is sick.

They have this really good buttermilk dressing...*mouth waters* gaaah... i know what im havin for dinner

Yes you should!

When I was in Montreal, I kept saying "jimmies" when ordering/talking about ice cream. Nobody had a fucking clue what I was talking about.

Years ago I was in Boston hanging out wth a girl who worked in the local office, and asked where there was a MAC machine. She looked at me sideways.

For those not in the know: MAC = Money Access Center = ATM

You know MAC just became STAR? Its the end of an era.
